Match the geometry terms with their definitions.

AB
acute angleless than 90 degrees
right angle90 degrees
obtuse anglemore than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees
straight angle180 degrees
reflex anglemore than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees
supplementary anglestwo or more angles whose sum is 180 degrees
complementary anglestwo or more angles whose sum is 90 degrees
vertical anglestwo angles opposite each other when two straight lines intersect
transversala line that intersects two or more parallel lines
equilateral triangletriangle with three equal sides
isosceles triangletriangle with two equal sides
scalene triangletriangle with three sides having different measurements
right triangletriangle with one right angle
hypotenuseon a right triangle, the long side across from the right angle
legson a right triangle, the two sides other than the hypotenuse
correspondingmatching sides of similar figures
similar trianglesangles are equal and sides are proportional
congruenthaving the same size and shape
Pythagorean theorumthe square of the hypotenuse = the sum of the squares of the other two sides
angletwo lines extending from the same point
